Marijuana Inc

10/12/09

Marijuana is a drug commonly used among Americans today despite the fact that the Federal Government bans any possession or use of the drug. Despite all of the efforts the government has made to keep this drug out of the United States and to punish people who grow and distribute it within the country it still seems to be a very easy thing to buy and possess. There is no way one can overdose on marijuana. It is a relaxant and often used as a medically administered drug for cancer, aids, anxiety and many other related cases. I feel that this drug causes unnecessary problems in our law enforcements. Money is spent on this ongoing search for marijuana in our country. By keeping marijuana out, drug lords in Mexico are sending it in causing violence and unnecessary deaths among innocent people. If it was legal in the United States the efforts of law enforcement and money would go elsewhere, where it is needed more. I feel that marijuana could help the economy. The profits of marijuana from the grower to the user are extreme! I feel that this is a subject that needs to be focused on more, especially in the rough times America is going through. I do not think I will make much of a difference but by telling and convincing more and more people my goal might eventually be achieved. My scholarly sources are limited but I will find as much information as I can to support my opinion and to educate myself on the subject.

This is the URL to YouTube about a really interesting show called Marijuana Inc. This is the first part out of 5.

  1. You're really moving into thesis writing. I'd be really careful.
